Description Just was up last night bored so went through some more shots I had of the Sydney Skyline . The light was pretty bad this afternoon , but been the first time I was in Sydney I made the most of it .
Heading back over there next month planing on revisitng a few shots hopefully have better light this time .And will also have the 5DMKII hopeing to get some huge stiched images with it .
This was a 8 image stitch taken with the Canon 50mm f/1.4 just love the sharpness of this lens . Have uploaded a large size image for this one so people can see the detail of the city .

Totally amazing pano! I love the level of clear sharp detal you have achieved here!

I've been watching you for some time now and I've held back asking tekkie questions cause I know some artists don't like giving up their secrets. Knowing that you have a penchant for panoramas, my initial thinking when viewing this page was "geez you're game uploading a pano this big, we'll see where the joins are." Lo and behold, I can't say with any certainty where one pic ends and another begins. Are you just using PS to stitch the photos or some other program? Or is it that you are using a 50mm? (I've been trying with a 28mm [35mm equivalent]with limited success).
Just as a matter of interest, are you upgrading your lens when you get the 5dmk2? Obviously you'll be down to an actual 50mm and the full frame sensor means light fall-off around the edges.

hi ,
Im currently using either PTgui or photoshop CS3 for stitching , I find that cs3 does a pretty good job but if its not stitching right in CS3 then I use PTgui which is probally the best . I normally have been using a 50mm prime lens for all my panos , now that i have bought the MKII Ill still use the 50mm and probally look at getting the L Lens 85mm prime .

Canon 5d MKII is a really great camera. Unfortunately I've no money for this camera, but here in germany you can buy a cheap 5d MKI and a MKI is a great camera too

The saturation in the foreground really added some punch! Your images are already crazy enough, be amazing to see what you get with the 5DMKII

I literally gasped when I saw this. That lens is amazing! And, of course, it's not like you photographed the world's ugliest city... I'm just dying to go to Australia.

Always have loved the city from the other side of the harbour - pity about the ferry movements you caught in the Quay section, but I guess that's the problem when shooting long exposures.
